Hi, Try: set.seed(429) dat1<- data.frame(race=sample(1:3,20,replace=TRUE),usborn=sample(0:2,20,replace=TRUE)) dat1$confused<- 1*((dat1$race==1|dat1$race==2) & dat1$usborn==0) head(dat1) # race usborn confused #1 3 2 0 #2 1 0 1 #3 2 1 0 #4 3 2 0 #5 1 2 0 #6 1 1 0 A.K.

I've been able to import my dataset (from Stata) and do some simple coding. I have now come to coding situation that requires some assistance. This is some code in SPSS that I would like to be able to execute in R: if (race eq 1 and usborn=0) confused=1 . if (race eq 2 and usborn=0) confused=1 . if (race eq 1 and usborn=1) confused=0 . if (race eq 2 and usborn=1) confused=0 . if (race eq 3 and usborn=1) confused=0 . if (race eq 3 and cohort=1) confused=0 . if (race eq 3 and cohort=2) confused=0 . variable labels confused "R claims to be both an African American and foriegn born" . value labels confused 1 "Both AfAm and Foreign" 2 "Not" . select if (confused eq 0) . Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Mosi ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
